Where did you get that Idea?

Now being the Turbo system makes another 75whp at the same boost level, does that mean this setup does not max the stock fuel system until 650whp due to the increased efficiency of the turbos? If so then that would off set some of the cost difference between this setup and the other options because fuel system upgrades are expensive.

The fuel delivery limit is a hard limit, the boost however to get there is not.

I’m still having a very hard time being convinced it’s a better value to do this if you don’t have high power level goals. You’re talking $9000 for the base kit and twice the labor. If my math is right it’s still cheaper to go supercharger + fuel upgrades for ~650whp. If this kit also requires the fuel upgrades to push past 600, then it’s not even close from a pure money standpoint.
Also I don’t mean to try to steer anyone away from this and certainly don’t want to try to diminish anything Ted has posted because the guy is awesome and one of the best tuners I’ve come across. And when it’s all said and done if I had the money I wouldn’t think twice about this kit. The potential is crazy, and it looks downright sick. Just my .02

We fully realize this upgrade is not for everyone looking to get to < 700 RWHP but it leaves so much room for growth in the long run like a lot of investments the more expensive ones end up being cheaper.
We are excited to do a fully forged cam, ported Head, build with LPE fuel system and see what the real potential of this kit is.
So far we have only scratched the surface.
